The Alchemy of Love – Rumi

You come to us from another world;
From beyond the stars and a void of space
Transcendent, pure – of unimaginable beauty.
Bringing with You the essence of Love.
You transform all who are touched by You –
Mundane concerns, troubles and sorrows dissolve in Your presence
Bringing joy to ruler & ruled, to peasants and kings.
You bewilder us with Your grace;
All evil is transformed into goodness.
You are the Master Alchemist!
You light the fire of Love in earth & sky,
In heart & soul of every being.
Through Your loving, existence & non-existence merge –
All opposites unite –
All that is profane becomes sacred again.

Any Christian who reads this poem by RUMI, feels like each line is describing Jesus! I dedicate this beautiful poem to this festive season 🙂

"Universal spirituality does not nullify the teachings of any religion, nor does it denigrate any faith or creed.
The universal spirituality incorporates the morals derived from religions into shared consciousness. It respects the practices of each creed.
The universal spirituality does not exclude any religion, faith or creed, from the realm of truth or authenticity. Consistent with the moral evolution of the human species, the universal spirituality interfuses the human psyche with cosmic intelligence, promoting the free flow of spirituality in and beyond space and time."
